See how Indonesia compares →

A former general once married to Suharto's daughter, he took office in 2024 promising free school meals and fast growth. His military past remains contested over human-rights abuses.

Prabowo Subianto sits in the left-authoritarian part of the Caucus economy and liberty compass: leaning state-led and strongly authoritarian. The clearest positions are strongly nationalist on nation, strongly authoritarian on liberty and authority and strongly strength-first on war and peace. The profile is close to the middle on interventionism.
